What Media Bias? Part 169

Unemployment rises in 30 States – how does the MSM headline it?

State unemployment picture brightens

Why “brightens”? Because in 9 States, the unemployment rate went down. You know, like in Michigan, where it plummeted from 14.5% all the way down to….14.3%…

I’m sure they’re feeling double-plus-good in Michigan about this brightening employment picture…

UPDATE: Reading some business news on this front, it seems that a lot of people are claiming March will be a banner month for employment and will signal the turn-around in our unemployment picture, and thus the real end of the recession. Do keep in mind that whatever numbers come out in March will be highly inflated by temporary Census workers – those jobs will disappear by summer.

We’ll see – but there has to come a crunch time when either the Statist, keynsian model is going to work, or come crashing down. They’ve told us that all this TARP and stimulus is fixing the economy. If so, then people will be swiftly getting back in to wealth creation and thus start creating jobs. If, on the other hand, March isn’t a banner month and/or if April turns out to be a dud, then the game is over.
